" "We passed upon the stair,
We spoke of was and when.
Although I wasn't there,
He said I was his friend,
Which came as some surprise.
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me,
I never lost control.
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world.
I laughed and shook his hand,
And made my way back home.
I searched for form and land,
For years and years I roamed.
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here.
We must have died alone,
A long, long time ago.
Who knows? Not me.
We never lost control.
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me.
We never lost control.
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
- The Man Who Sold the World

Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild.
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet.
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test.
